Default Office Power Point Viewer 2007 won't open ".pps" files

Using Windows 7, Home Premium, 32 bit. No Office 2007 installed. Using
Microsoft Works. Have experienced several issues with Office PPT Viewer 2007.
Cleared them, but additionally each time I try to open a .pps file, either
from the Desktop or Windows Mail, I receive the following:

"C:\Users|AMD\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temp oraryInternetFiles\content.IE5\E7D22GOW\Gathering
of Mustangs and Legends2007.pps is not a valid Win32 application".

I have opened this file many times on another computer, so don't think it is
an issue with the file. The software has been uninstalled and reinstalled
several times, with a reboot each time. Also redownloaded the software two
different times thinking it was a corrupted download.
Can someone please direct me towards a resolution?

Thank you,
Rext

You might try saving the PPS/PPT file to your harddrive and then
double-click to open it. Right now it looks like you're trying to open it
from a website.

Try saving the presentation to a folder where the path length including
filename are less the 128 characters and see what happens

Thank you for your recommendations. I have resolved the issue. It was that
the wrong default program was designated. I hjad no idea there are two
different PPT Viewer 2007, but the one I had designated was incorrect.
Changed it and it now works well.
